Absolutely not. This is a long-standing myth that has been debunked by the NSCA and pediatric organizations. In fact, properly supervised resistance training increases bone density and tendon strength, which actually reduces the risk of injury in their sport. We prioritize movement quality over heavy weight.

We accept athletes as young as 7 years old. At this "Prime" stage (Ages 7-10), we do not use heavy barbells. We focus on "Movement Literacy"—teaching them how to run, jump, land, and squat using their own body weight. This builds the coordination they need before puberty hits.

We build the engine; the sport is just where they drive the car. Whether it's soccer, baseball, or lacrosse, speed and power are universal. We train the fundamental athletic qualities (acceleration, deceleration, rotational power) that transfer to every field and court sport.

Small. We cap our youth sessions at 4 athletes maximum. This ensures your child gets the attention of a private session with the energy and competitiveness of a group environment. They can't hide in the back of the class here.

We keep it simple—no clunky apps or portals. You have direct access to me via text. We coordinate schedules week-to-week. I know plans change, and sending a quick text is much faster than logging into a system.
